1	Hey Eugene! (2007) more music like this by Pink Martini It took Pink Martini a full decade -- their debut, Sympathique, came out in 1997; the follow-up, Hang on Little Tomato, was released in 2004; and now Hey Eugene! arrives in 2007 -- but they've finally perfected their particular good-time blend of cabaret pop, pre-"world music" international fare, golden-age Hollywood scores, and lounge-informed, ... see all copies from $16.67! new only from $17.03!
2	Fool on the Hill (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Having hit upon another smash formula -- cover versions of pop/rock hits backed by lavish strings, a simplified bossa nova rhythm, and the leader's piano comping -- Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 produced two more chart-busting singles, again turning to the Beatles for sustenance with the title track (number six) and Simon & Garfunkel for "Scarborough ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $10.29!
3	Look Around (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Sergio Mendes took a deep breath, expanded his sound to include strings lavishly arranged by the young Dave Grusin and Dick Hazard, went further into Brazil, and out came a gorgeous record of Brasil '66 at the peak of its form. Here Mendes released himself from any reliance upon Antonio Carlos Jobim and rounded up a wealth of truly great material ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.29!
4	Equinox (1967) more music like this by Sergio Mendes Equinox continues the scrumptiously winning sound that Sergio Mendes cooked up in the mid-'60s, this time a bit more fleshed out with John Pisano's guitar, a slightly thicker texture, and even an imitation sitar (this was, after all, 1967). Again, the mix of American pop tunes old and new and Brazilian standards and sleepers is impeccable ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $16.81!
5	Mambo Sinuendo (2003) more music like this by Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán Mambo Sinuendo is a collaboration between Ry Cooder and Buena Vista alum (and formerly of many other groups as well) Manuel Galbán. The album attempts to catch an old style popularized in Cuba by Galbán, and was, surprisingly, never followed up on by anybody after Galbán. It's a guitar-based romp closely based in the pop/jazz crossovers of the ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
6	Today (2001) more music like this by Raul Malo From the start, it was obvious that the Mavericks were comprised of a more interesting variety of flavors than most C&W hitmakers, and by the time they released Trampoline in 1998, the band had evolved from an eclectic country-accented outfit into an adventurous adult pop group willing to dip their toes into practically anything. So it shouldn't ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $15.98!
7	Quiet Village/The Enchanted Sea (1997) more music like this by Martin Denny Martin Denny is rightfully known as the king of exotica/lounge music. The music is defined by breezy, middle of the road, early-60's pop arrangements buttressed by sound effects of ocean, wildlife, birds, and other natural phenomenon. Scamp Records out of New York has done an excellent job of reissuing his original albums, and this CD, which ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $14.22!
8	Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1996) more music like this by Sergio Mendes After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band). He came up with a marvelously sleek, sexy formula: dual ... see all copies from $3.41! new only from $10.29!
9	The Ultimate Yma Sumac Collection (2000) more music like this by Yma Sumac The Ultimate Yma Sumac Collection may very well live up to its title; at the very least, it's likely the most comprehensive overview of her recordings yet assembled. Therefore, the question is, is it better to go with a collection (which contains three previously unreleased cuts and four rare stereo mixes) or an official album, namely her Voice of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
10	Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) more music like this by Henry Mancini This soundtrack to the movie adaptation of Truman Capote's novel Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of Henry Mancini's best. The pleasing blend of pop (the perennial "Moon River") and swing stays fresh over the album's 12 tracks and shows off Mancini's considerable writing and arranging skills. The cuts range from the layered, big-band mambo "Something ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.77!
11	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale (1996) more music like this by Various Artists As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $11.13!
12 view cover	The Music from Peter Gunn [Bonus Tracks] (1999) more music like this by Henry Mancini This is not only a great CD but a key piece of jazz and pop music history. Back in 1958, Peter Gunn was one of the unexpected hits of the new television season, capturing the imagination of millions of viewers by mixing private eye action with a jazz setting. Essential to the character of private investigator Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens) was that ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.06!
13 view cover	Fuego del Ande (1959) more music like this by Yma Sumac Even those who find Sumac unbearable would have to admit that she was nothing if not adaptable. Fuego Del Ande has her interpreting South American folk songs with characteristic panache, although it's not one of her better '50s albums. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	Mr. Lucky Goes Latin (1961) more music like this by Henry Mancini Mancini recasts some of the numbers he wrote for the popular CBS TV series Mr. Lucky in a Latin light vein. This 1961 release also features two of his best cuts in a circus-minded mix of harpsichord and trombone called "Rain Drops in Rio" and the noirish ballad "Blue Mantilla"; once again, Mancini strikes a fine balance between jazz atmospherics ... see all copies from $7.00!
15 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica (1996) more music like this by Various Artists An 18-song exhumation of the Capitol exotica back catalog, placing old standbys like Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Yma Sumac alongside lesser-knowns like Webley Edwards, Bas Sheva, and the wonderfully-named 80 Drums Around the World. This favors easy listening-friendly exotica, rather than the style at its most outrageous. It may be too ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $11.13!
16 view cover	Stormy Weekend (1970) more music like this by Mystic Moods Orchestra see all copies from $8.06!
17 view cover	Hatari! (1962) more music like this by Henry Mancini Coming off a double Oscar win for his Breakfast at Tiffany's score, Henry Mancini produced this score for the Howard Hawks-directed, John Wayne-starring safari comedy. This is at first a fun blend of jazz and Afro-exotica, jungle drums mixed with a classic bop combo. Elsewhere, however, the soundtrack opts for some pleasant, but very Western jazz, ... see all copies from $2.60! new only from $29.40!
18 view cover	Crystal Illusions (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 The sound and band that served Sergio Mendes well on Fool on the Hill remain intact on Crystal Illusions, with few modifications. Dave Grusin is right there with a lush, haunting orchestral chart when needed; Lani Hall is thrust further into the vocal spotlight, as cool and alluring as ever in Portuguese or English. Mendes remained on the lookout ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
19 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 14: Bossa Novaville (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
20 view cover	All-Time Great Instrumental Hits, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists All-Time Great Instrumental Hits, Vol. 1 is a budget-priced, 12-track collection of easy listening hits from the '50s and '60s by Les Baxter ("Unchained Melody," "The Poor People of Paris"), Nelson Riddle ("Lisbon Antigua"), Ferrante & Teicher ("Exodus"), Ray Anthony ("Dragnet," "Up a Lazy River," "Peter Gunn"), Les Paul ("Whispering"), Don Costa ... see all copies from $4.67! new only from $7.34!
21 view cover	Sergio Mendes [1983] (1983) more music like this by Sergio Mendes see all copies from $2.90! new only from $10.00!
22 view cover	Ye-Me-Le (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Perhaps the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 sound was at last beginning to show signs of wear, for not only didn't Ye-Me-Le produce any hits ("Wichita Lineman" reached a lowly number 95), but the album is also less enterprising and fresh-sounding than its predecessors. There is a surprising shortage of Brazilian material, which was always Mendes' most ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $10.29!
23 view cover	One Stormy Night (1966) more music like this by Mystic Moods Orchestra This debut recording from the Mystic Moods Orchestra came to be essentially by chance. Brad Miller, who had been recording old steam engine sounds for sound effects recordings, was inspired upon hearing a late-night DJ mix easy listening music with environmental sounds. He solicited arranger Don Ralke to record a series of easy listening songs, ... see all copies from $9.09! new only from $16.47!
24 view cover	ESL Soundtrack, Vol. 2: Jet Society (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Washington, D.C.'s Eighteenth Street Lounge has been a bastion of excellent taste-making music ever since its inception in 1995. The combination club and label's founders -- Farid Ali, Abdul Jewayni, and Thievery Corporation's Eric Hilton -- envisioned a swinging, continental club inspired by the breezy jazz-funk of Europe and South America during ... see all copies from $14.71! new only from $14.71!
25 view cover	Room with a View (2002) more music like this by Henri Salvador Henri Salvador was born in 1917 in Cayenne, French Guiana. He studied music in Paris and played with Django Reinhardt on one occasion. He started playing guitar seriously in Paris in 1935. His stay in the interior of Brazil is evident in much of his music. His sound is a combination of Parisian cabaret, Brazilian bossa nova, and French Antillean ... see all copies from $15.81! new only from $15.81!
